Tax reform is just about choices. We can let our roads and bridges crumble, not upgrade broadband, make no investments in child care, or getting lead out of drinking water, and let rich people keep paying taxes at about half the rate as everyone else. Or we can ask those at the very top to pay a wealth tax. We can require giant corporations to pay a tax on book profits. We can get serious about tax enforcement for the rich and powerful. Those three changes in the tax code would give us trillions more than we need in order to pay for President Biden`s infrastructure plan and his care economy plan. It is all about choices.
